Canadian Club 40

Last night I was invited, as part of the Toronto Whisky Society, to a launch event for Canadian Club 40. It was completely free. I disclose this to be clear. Also, as a note, prior to the tasting I had a maple bacon old fashioned. In order to mitigate any odd flavours coming in, I made sure […]

Bruichladdich Black Art 5.1

I have an odd relationship with the Bruichladdich Black Arts line. Not odd like I’m secretly in love with the bottle design (though I do love my goth ascetics) or odd that I’m going to make a joke about somehow using it as a fleshlight. Google that. At work. In front of your boss. It’ll […]

Glenrothes 19 1997 25th Anniversary Kensington Wine Market Whisky Broker

If I say Kensington, a lot of people have different thoughts. If you’re in the UK, it is a posh part of West London. If you say it to someone in the US, they may think it’s one of many companies, or a small town in Maine. In Canada, it means different things again. We […]

Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Micro-Provenance Single Cask Threesome

Thanks to /u/throwboats for these three samples. And I stole his picture for them too. And then I used some of his sugar for my tea. While he nodded off for a second. Wake up people! With all the things that are happening in the world, it’s the New World Order taking over! What? No, I’m not […]

Northern Border Collection 2017

Thanks to Wiser’s for inviting myself and /u/muaddib99 as part of the Toronto Whisky Society. Please note that while we appreciate being invited, our reviews are our own and Wiser’s has not edited these at all. Sharp pointy sticks to all our crouches. There, they wouldn’t allow that, no one likes that and whisky. Well, very few people […]

Glynnevan Double Barrelled

I’d like to thank Glynnevan for giving the Toronto Whisky Society a bottle of Glynnevan Double Barrelled to review. While we were given this bottle, please note that these reviews are my own, we keep 100% editorial power over them. Well this is a little embarrassing. I completely forgot to write this review. Thus it’s out of place. Oh […]

Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 year (1st and 2nd Edition)

Thanks to /u/throwboats for both of these samples. It is said that every person, no matter how minor or prolific in what they do for fun, will miss something. There will be a racing nerd who has never seen the Montreal Indy; a D&D nerd who never fought frost giants; a computer gaming nerd who has no […]

Springbank 12 1996 Single Cask Oloroso Sherry Butt

Thanks to /u/smoked_herring for this dram. Springbank. Can they do anything wrong? News at 11. Oh, wait, I write things like this. I can’t wait until 11. Also it’s international. I didn’t think this through at all. A few years ago Springbank released their 12 year old single cask series. Different cask types, a simple label, full […]

Aberfeldy 18

Thanks to /u/smoked_herring for this dram. So, back to Aberfeldy 18 after moving some things aside! Why? Because they have a hipster based label and I need to keep reviewing them. Aberfeldy 18 is a travel retail version, coming in a 1L size and enticing you to buy alcohol before you’ve had your morning coffee and after you’ve had your […]

Mystery M3 (The Smoked Series)

Thanks to /u/devoz and /u/xile_ for this sample Quick recap, if you haven’t read the last 2 reviews (Skip to the Bold part that says “START HERE” otherwise). Recently I made a point of stating that, if given an Arran, I’d identify the profile. This started both devoz and xile_ thinking, which is never good for me. You see, […]
